Résumé
Stresses the need for full and urgent implementation of the rights of the girl child as guaranteed to her under all human rights instruments, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, as well as the need for universal ratification of those instruments; urges all States to take all necessary measures and to institute legal reforms to ensure the full and equal enjoyment by the girl child of all human rights and fundamental freedoms, to take effective action against violations of those rights and freedoms and to base programmes and policies for the girl child on the Rights of the Child; urges all States to enact and enforce legislation protecting girls from all forms of violence and to develop age-appropriate safe and confidential programmes and medical, social and psychological support services to assist girls who are subjected to violence; also urges States to eliminate all barriers so as to enable girls, without exception, to develop their full potential and skills through equal access to education and training; urges States, educational institutions and the UN system to provide gender-sensitive training for school administrators, parents and all members of the school community; requests the Secretary-General to ensure that all organizations and bodies of the UN system individually and collectively take into account the rights and the particular needs of the girl child, and eliminate negative cultural attitudes and practices against the girl child.
